Overview
The greatest defeat ever experienced by the British Army was in the Mountain Passes of Afghanistan in 1848. Angus Cameron, the hero of this story, was captured by the Afghans, and compelled to witness this calamity. His life story is an intensely interesting one, starting from his boyhood in Persia; his employment under the Government at Herat; through the defense of the town against the Persians; to Kabul, where he participated in all the events which ended in the awful march through the Mountain Passes, where only one man escaped! Always at the point of danger, whether in battle or on a hazardous expedition, the brave young Angus goes on dangerous and thrilling adventures with marvelous and clever escapes! This historical and political narration portrays one of the biggest blunders of Britain-paid in blood! If you like books that are adventurous and full of action, this is one you are going to want to read! The Author published this book so this essential part of our history will not be forgotten and so our heroes of history will always be honored and remembered.
